    In fact, contrib/rserv works quite well, I've been using it for half a year
    already. There are gotchas, of course:
    1) It does not work out of the box. Its build process was broken
    some time ago. I tried to submit a patch for this, but had hard
    time pushing it through the same developer who broke it. Well,
    maybe I will at last be able to produce something that will please
    him and it will be in 7.3.x
    2) There is no coherent documentation for the package. Well, maybe
    I should write some based on my experience. :]
    3) If you dump/restore a DB with contrib/rserv, you'll need to do
    some manual tweaking to its tables.
